What began as a less structured project for Campbell in between The Heartbreakers’ touring became a full-time project following the passing of Campbell’s longtime compatriot, friend and bandmate Tom Petty and his performances with Fleetwood Mac on their 2018-2019 World Tour.

Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs have spent the last three years touring the country headlining legendary venues such as the Fillmore in San Francisco, CA and Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY while also supporting icons including Chris Stapleton, The Who and Willie Nelson.

In September 2023, Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs, along with fellow Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers founding member Benmont Tench, were the backing band to musical legend Bob Dylan in his surprise appearance at Farm Aid 2023 – his first time back since the festival’s inaugural event in 1985. Performing his hits “Maggie’s Farm,” “Positively 4^th Street,” and “Ballad of a Thin Man,” attendees saw Dylan play the guitar for the first time in many years, marking the entire performance as a moment which Rolling Stone dubbed “the highlight of an epic show.”
